I read on D's documentation that it's possible to format strings with arguments as print statements, such as the following:
float x = 100 / 3.0;
writefln("Number: %.*g", 2, x);
Number: 33.33
However, I'm wondering how I would do this if I just wanted the string equivalent, without printing it. I've looked at the std.format library but that seems way to messy for something I only need to use once. Is there anything a little bit more clear available?
Import std.string
or std.format
and use the format
function.
import std.string;
void main()
{
float x = 100 / 3.0;
auto s = format("Number: %.*g", 4, x);
assert(s == "Number: 33.33");
}
